About Me

Lansing, MI, United States

NASCAR. Became a Ryan Newman fan when I became a NASCAR fan. Have not been a NASCAR fan for long (5 years) but now I am one of the biggest fans of NASCAR and Ryan Newman.
Became fan when I started working for ALLTEL. Discovered they had a NASCAR driver....Ryan Newman. I started watching and got totally sucked in.
I have always enjoyed Motorsports, but have never really been hooked like this.
I am also VERY fortunate that my fiance Jeni is also a NASCAR fan. Have even recently caught her on the phone discussing NASCAR with her Mom.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eastman Kodak Company is asking fans what they think about ink. Following its debut in the inkjet printer market in March, Kodak is giving race fans a once in a lifetime opportunity to design the paint scheme and have their name "inked" on NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Ryan Newman's No. 12 KODAK DODGE.

One lucky fan's winning car design, along with his/her name, will be inked on Newman's No. 12 car for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series 500 race at California Speedway on September 2.
